Junction City has been searching for a city manager since Gerry Vernon resigned in May to accept a similar position in Mission. Following Vernons resignation, the Austin Peters Group was hired to perform a national search at the cost of about $10,000. The firm returned last month with 33 candidates, from which four finalists were selected. The finalists Leroy Alsup, Lynne Ladner, Bret Bauer and Smith were interviewed by commissioners on Sept. 11 and 12 in
Junction City. The finalists also were given a tour of the city, which was led by Junction City Area Chamber of Commerce CEO Tom Weigand. On Tuesday, the commission met in executive session for about 60 minutes to discuss personnel matters. City attorney Katie Logan and Marla Flentje of the Austin Peters Group were present for the closed session.

Not everyones a fan of pushing for a casino to be built in Geary County, although nobody has yet spoken out publicly against the idea. State Rep. Allan Rothlisberg (R-Grandview Plaza), on the other hand, has been the primary advocate for promoting Geary County as a location for a destination casino. Hes been busy talking to governing bodies and organizations to draw their attention to a hearing for his bill, which would allow for a new casino to be built in the county, in February in front of the House Federal and State Affairs Committee. Rothlisberg is a member of that committee.

Like us on Facebook
On Wednesday, Rothlisberg spoke to the Junction City Area Chamber of Commerce board of directors, but Chamber CEO Tom Weigand was quick to point out that not everyone wants to see a casino in the area. Weigand suggested some local business owners and even some of the chamber board members may be opposed to the casino. I think we need to tread lightly, Weigand said, adding the chamber should be careful before voicing support. Earlier this month, the Economic Development Commission, which falls under the chamber organization umbrella, approved a resolution in favor of the casino, primarily because of the jobs it would create.

In an effort to support local retailers, the Junction City Area Chamber of Commerce is spreading the word about Small Business Saturday. Chamber Economic Development Strategist Susan Jagerson said the goal is to help local customers buy local on Nov. 30. Were really going to support it as a way to shop local that Saturday and go in and spend some money to support your local merchants, she told the chamber board on Wednesday. Other plans to help spread the word about Small Business Saturday are in the works, Jagerson said.

Fridays festivities are from 6 p.m. to 10 p.m., while the ranch will be open at 10 a.m. on Saturdays. After church Sunday, the gate opens right at noon, and therell be activities until 5 p.m. Well, what alls on tap for visitors to the Fall Festival on the Farm? Theres a pumpkin patch, and the opportunity to purchase pumpkins of various sizes to take home. Therell be a pumpkin train and even a Purple Powercat train for family rides all around the farm, Wilson noted. Then, visitors can go on a hayrack ride through the prairies, and have their own individual pony ride, plus the chance to rope a genuine Longhorn steer head, play in the corn bin, climb a straw bale castle, jump in the bounce house, fire the hedge ball sling shot, mingle through the hay bale maze, drive toy tractors in the Future Farmers Field, and even play laser tag, or weave through a flashlight maze, Friday and Saturday evenings. Of all the things there are to do, often we find that the boys, girls, moms, dads and even the grandparents like most to meet the animals: the horses, cattle, llamas, dairy goats, ducks, sheep, rabbits and chickens, Wilson pointed out. Of course, everybody, young and the most mature, always likes to eat, and

Main Battle Tanks and their crews conduct platoon livefire gunnery. We had no idea what to expect coming out here. I
was pleasantly surprised, Danny Blea, one of the clubs coaches, said. I knew we were going to see some heavy-duty armor, but I
didnt know we were going to get a firsthand experience of what the military really does, and thats the best part about today. The visit was in part a way for the Vanguard Battalion to repay the club for their hospitality earlier this summer, Lt. Col. Robert E. Lee Magee, commander of 1st Bn., 18th Inf. Regt., said. Dozens of soldiers from the unit participated in a rugby clinic at Memorial Stadium on the schools campus, where they learned basic moves such as passing and some of the rules of the game. The university has played an instrumental role in aiding soldiers from 2nd ABCT who are deploying to Africa as part of its regional alignment mission by providing regional experts and natives at the brigades periodic
weeklong training exercise known as Dagger University. We brought the K-State guys out here, and were just showing them a little bit about what we do, Spc. Justin Higgins, an infantryman with Company A, 1st Bn., 18th Inf. Regt., and Lamar County, Ga., native, said. Upon their arrival at the range, the rugby players were greeted by a platoon from Company A, 1st Bn., 18th Inf. Regt., who taught them the basics of individual, buddy, team and squadlevel movement, both with and without body armor and a helmet. Once they showed competence in that, it was time for more advanced scenarios. Vanguard Battalion soldiers would laid in wait for squads of rugby players armed with blank ammunition and test their abilities.

LAFAYETTE, La. Gil Dozier, a former Louisianas Commissioner of Agriculture and Forestry whose political career ended with a federal extortion conviction in 1980, has died. His sons law office in Lafayette confirmed the death Wednesday but did not release the cause. Doziers exact age was not available but he was believed to be about 79.
Dozier, a Democrat, appeared to have a promising political career ahead of him when he took office as agriculture chief in 1976, having defeated incumbent David Pearce. He was considered a possible candidate for the 1979 governors race, with term limits preventing the popular incumbent, Edwin Edwards, from seeking a third consecutive term.

daughter helped save countless lives in the initial minutes of the attack heroics the New York native and others they brought to safety say have gotten too little attention. Handler was in the shopping complex with her husband, Nick, and their 2-yearold, Julia. Father and daughter were at the popular eatery, Artcaffe, when about a dozen al-Shabab militants descended on the upscale mall popular with foreigners and wealthy Kenyans and began firing indiscriminately. Lyndsay, upstairs at a bookstore, headed to the roof, while Nick took shelter with Julia in a ground-floor storeroom of the malls flagship department store, Nakumatt. Father and daughter huddled fearfully for three hours until plainclothes police came to their rescue. Its hard to describe the relief I felt when I saw the doors to the storeroom open, and several incredibly brave plainclothes police, weapons drawn, motioned for us to leave as quickly as possible, said Nick Handler, of the Philadelphia suburb of Merion, Pa. Perhaps it was not rational, but I instantly trusted these guys with our lives. I felt a surge of hope that we were going to be fine. The 31-year-old Handler, who works on agricultural issues in western Kenya, said the officers rushed into the attack zone knowing that they were up against heavily armed gunmen and were putting their own lives on the line. Video from inside the mall shows how security personnel worked to save lives. In one, a man thought to be a plainclothes police officer was seen scooting on his belly across the shopping centers ground floor to coax a mother and her two children lying next to a cafe counter to stand up and rush out. The regular mall security guards were unarmed and powerless to stop attackers armed with semi-automatic weapons. The al-Shabab gunmen appeared to specifically target the unarmed guards as they began their attack, said Ben Mulwa, a community organizer who was shot in the leg near one of the mall entrances. One of the guards was shot through the head just feet from where Mulwa was hiding. He said the first responders particularly the lightly armed officers who were among the first on the scene displayed immense courage in a chaotic and uncertain situation. Theyre only holding pistols. ... The other guys are walking with machine guns, he said. They could have easily shot them. I found that extremely brave. Individual acts of courage aside, however, Mulwa and

other Kenyans questioned how prepared the country is to confront a large-scale attack. Kenya has been hit by terrorists in the past, and Western officials have warned that malls and other public spaces could be targeted. The fact that kind of gunfire can go on in a prime location like that ... I think the response probably wasnt as good as it could be, Mulwa said. Theres some lapses that need to be addressed. Kenyan army troops took the lead in securing the mall following the initial chaos of Saturdays attack, and it wasnt until late Tuesday that President Uhuru Kenyatta declared the terrorists had been defeated. Mopping-up operations continued into Wednesday, and occasional gunfire could still be heard from the mall. The official civilian death toll stood at 61 late Tuesday, but officials said more bodies could still be inside the mall, and 71 people remain missing, according to the Red Cross. Six Kenyan security forces, as well as five al-Shabab militants, also were killed. Among the six Kenyan troops killed, three were first-responder police officers accidentally gunned down by Kenyan army officers in the chaos after the attack, police officials said. Kenyan officials have been

eager to declare the situation under control for days. But the challenge they face could be read on the faces of the soldiers tasked with clearing the mall in the aftermath of the attack. Trudging from the gutted complex to the Oshwal Center, a nearby Indian community center that had been turned into a makeshift command center and triage location, the troops looked like they were returning from battle. Some put on a brave face, like the soldier hauling an anti-tank rocket launcher who wore aviator sunglasses as he ate his lunch inside. But many others looked clearly shaken and worn out. Ashok Halai, the Nairobi commissioner for St. John Ambulance, which has been providing volunteer emergency medical services since the attack began, said his crews have been coordinating with Kenyan security forces in treating casualties. The operation to clear the sprawling complex has taken a toll on the mood of the Kenyan forces charged with securing it, he said. Obviously they are stressed, he said Tuesday. They would like to have peace. We would like to see this ending. He said he wasnt surprised that it took so long to bring the operation to a close.

t comes as welcome news that the Junction City Police Officers Association and the city finally arrived at a three-year contract agreement, under which law enforcement officers salaries will rise 12 percent over the next three years. After going without any raises for the past two years, surely few would begrudge giving police officers a reasonable pay hike. What is disappointing is that negotiations ended up costing the city more than $100,000, including attorney fees of $46,000. That is largely because the negotiations stretched on so long and required both attorneys and arbitration before an agreement finally was reached. The upside is that this agreement lasts for three years for the first time. So both the city and the union get a breather from the bargaining table. As Chief Tim Brown said, all involved hope this protracted negotiation ensures the 2016 contract will go smoother and cost less to reach. So do we. Finally, we sympathize with residents who live near a long-closed quarry located close to the Olivia Farms Development, which is being considered to reopen in an effort to supply material to Fort Riley and the local area. Nearly 30 residents indicated their opposition at a County Commission meeting Monday, citing increased traffic, possible contamination of water supplies, noise from blasting and other environmental effects. The Metropolitan Planning Commission will take up the issue at 7 p.m. Oct. 10, after which the County Commission will revisit the issue. Residents who want to have input on the issue should attend that meeting and then make plans to show up at the subsequent county commission meeting as well. Striking a balance between economic development opportunities and what can affect the quality of life of private citizens can be a challenge. This appears to be one of those situations. The more input that is received from citizens, the better-informed decision our officials can make.
he farm has always been a fertile field for producing crops, but it is also an environment rich with learning experiences. For generations, children who grow up and work with their parents on the family farm have learned valuable skills. While they are learning to sow seeds, cultivate weeds and harvest grains, flowers and vegetables, they are also cultivating knowledge. Lessons learned on the farm include math, social studies and vocabulary, leadership, not to mention cooperation and responsibility. All those skills acquired in a simple field of soil and vegetation? Absolutely. Tucked away in those vast acres of grass, trees and crops theres a living outdoor classroom teeming with lessons on life. Children who learn to till the soil come to understand such basics as distance, depth and height. They learn that the plants that bear our food came from places all over the world rice from the Far East, wheat from Russia. They see stems, leaves, seeds, flowers and bulbs in their hands, instead of in a book an enduring way to plant words in their vocabulary. While growing up on a land whipped by the wind, warmed by the sun and cooled by the stars, youngsters learn to respect their environment. They learn
that by caring for this fertile land it will in turn care for them. Such a valuable learning experience can provide children with the tools likely to influence family and friends to respect the land as well or at least raise their level of awareness. Youngsters also learn that hope is not wishful thinking of harvest success. Rather, hope is the action of planning and planting seeds. There will be those years when harvest may not occur, but the seeds of hope must be planted if there is even the thought of next years bounty. Learning outside can also be fun. If you dont think so, ask children whove been on a field trip. They appreciate the opportunity to spend a day in a natural classroom where they can trade fluorescent lighting and four walls for blue sky and white clouds overhead. When given the opportunity to grow grains, flowers and vegetables, youngsters chart the progress of the plant. They invest in the outcome and that means harvesting their hard work, care and investment. While encouraging students to consider growing and caring for a small plot with wheat, roasting ears or assorted vegetables, be sure to equip them with youth-sized tools. Remember they are still youngsters and do not possess the strength, knowledge and wisdom of an adult. Suggest themes for young gardeners. Try a garden theme that appeals to a childs literal sense, such as an alpha-
bet garden with plants that begin with the letters A to Z. They could also plant a pizza garden and grow tomatoes, peppers and onions. They could visit a dairy farm to learn about the fundamentals of caring for cows that produce the milk that results in cheese on the pizza. Or maybe a visit to a cattle ranch to experience beef cattle that ultimately winds up as hamburger on a pizza. Direct the children and instill in them that caring for a crop can be an adventure. Have them add excitement to the garden with decorations including scarecrows, painted stumps and tiles and child-sized benches. Encourage them to dig in the soil for earthworms. Tell them to pick the flowers when theyre mature. Above all, make certain the learning experience is enjoyable. Encourage them to keep a daily journal about each days activity. Take pictures of the learning journey in the field and add them to the journal. Yes, there can be an abundance of lessons to be harvested in the soil. Take the opportunity to provide such an experience for a child you know.

ashingtons latest budget stalemate looks so similar to the fractious fiscal fights of the last few years that the weary and worn-out are calling the Capitols impasse the new normal. Who can blame them, really? Budget battles have become a show, a way to score points with each partys base. Principled compromise? Ha. Look at the debate that Texas Republican Sen. Ted Cruz has sparked over defunding Obamacare, otherwise known as the Affordable Care Act. Conservatives from Karl Rove to The Wall Street Journals editorial page to Mitt Romney have warned that this is the wrong political battle for Cruz and crowd to fight. The warnings keep coming because Senate Republicans lack the votes to cut off funding. Plus, there is that fellow in the White House, the one who staked his first term on passage of this legislation. Whats he going to do, suddenly kill his own legacy? Still, Cruz battles on. He sees his duty as trying to stop bad legislation, much like House Republicans took it upon themselves last week to cut off Obamacare funding. But the Senate is not the House, which is why Cruz would be best advised to drop the fight, including for his partys sake. He need not just take our suggestion. Rove best summed up the political case against the defunding
To the Editor:
n the Sept. 5 issue of The Daily Union, Pat Landes, vice mayor, talked of many highlights concerning our 2014 budget for the city. It is great that our city is getting in a better financial state, but I have a concern. When the other commissioners were in charge, it was voted
on that everyone in Junction City should pay an extra fee at the water department. Then, I believe there was a later vote at a certain amount of time the fee would be discontinued. If I am not mistaken, that time period passed about a year ago. But, we are still paying this fee. When will this be removed from our bills? Or is this a forgotten promise?
To the Editor:
read with the interest the article in The Daily Union on the fate of the Water Wheel House at Rock Springs. I agree with Mr. Borst that the house should be preserved if possible. I think there is as much history with the house as would be created with educational and recreational purposes.
It is the only original building still standing on the camp. It would make a good museum piece. I agree that $500,000 sounds like too much money to preserve the house. I question that this figure is high. I would be curious to know much it would cost to do the other plan. If possible, I would like to see more study done to keep the ranch house as is. I am in favor of a possible reversal to the plan of restoring the spring house.

JC Breakfast Optimist Club
The JC Breakfast Optimist Club met Wednesday, Sept. 25, in the Hampton Inn Meeting Room. The meeting was called to order by Vice President Tom Brungardt. The meeting began with members reciting the Pledge of Allegiance, The Optimist Creed and a morning prayer offered by Rev. Nikki Woolsey. In 2012, the local Optimist Club sponsored Robert Nabiswa, principal of a high school in Kenya, Africa and his students with a donation to aid them in getting electricity to their school building. Correspondence was received this week that the electricity is on so students now have light that enables them to do their work in school. Mr. Nabiswa is now seeking aid from students parents, financiers, friends, and others to get a school bus to transport students who walk to and from school traveling as much as 30 kilometers each day. During the rainy season it is nearly impossible for students to walk to school, so transportation is a must in order to have consistent attendance. The program was presented by Megan Kennedy who is the Jobs For Americas Graduates (JAG) specialist. This program is for JCHS students who qualify and is provided for them at the Larry Dixon Center for Innovative Studies. She described the program as a state based non-profit program to prevent dropouts among young people who are most at risk. The program was established nationally in 1979 and is now in 32 states. This is the first year the JAG program has been used in Kansas and is funded through Community in Schools. USD 475 is one of the 25 Kansas school districts in which JAG is currently in place. Some of the 35 requirements of students in order to qualify for the program include: low academic achievement; lack social skills; parents didnt graduate from high school; and a willingness to work hard to change their lives through education. The three Program Components Ms. Kennedy works on with her students are Academic Remediation, JAG Competencies (leadership, job attainment skills, career development, job survival, personal skills and working as a team) and Career Association (public speaking, marketing, and election of officers who have responsibilities to work with and delegate in order to get tasks completed). Ms. Kennedys role as the Instructional Specialist is to provide support, counsel, provide activities for competency achievement, support students after their first year of graduation and be a reference for students who apply for jobs. The Optimists meet every Wednesday at 6:30 a.m. at the Hampton Inn in Junction City, which is located at 1039 S. Washington. Any person interested in attending a meeting of the J.C. Breakfast Optimist Club will receive a free breakfast at the first meeting they attend. The Optimistic Quote for the week is: My sun sets to rise again Robert Browning Submitted by Luise Mathes

DALBADI, Pakistan Survivors built makeshift shelters with sticks and bedsheets Wednesday, a day after their mud houses were flattened in an earthquake that killed 285 people in southwestern Pakistan and pushed a new island up out of the Arabian Sea. While waiting for help to reach remote villages, hungry people dug through the rubble to find food. And the countrys poorest province struggled with a dearth of medical supplies, hospitals and other aid. The quake flattened wide swathes of Awaran district, where it was centered, leaving much of the population homeless. Almost all of the 300 mud-brick homes in the village of Dalbadi were destroyed. Noor Ahmad said he was working when the quake struck and rushed home to find his house leveled and his wife and son dead. Im broken, he said. I have lost my family. At least 373 people were also injured, according to a statement from the National Disaster Management Authority, which gave the latest death toll. Doctors in the village treated some of the injured, but due to a scarcity of medicine and staff, they were mostly seen comforting residents. The remoteness of the area and the lack of infrastructure hampered relief efforts. Awaran district is one of the poorest in the countrys most impoverished province. Just getting to victims was challenging in a region with almost no roads where many people use fourwheel-drive vehicles and camels to traverse the rough terrain. We need more tents, more medicine and more food, said a spokesman for the provincial government, Jan Mohammad Bulaidi. Associated Press images from the village of Kaich showed the devastation. Houses made mostly of mud and handmade bricks had collapsed. Walls and
roofs caved in, and peoples possessions were scattered on the ground. A few goats roamed through the ruins. The Pakistani military said it had rushed almost 1,000 troops to the area overnight and was sending helicopters as well. A convoy of 60 Pakistani army trucks left the port city of Karachi early Wednesday with supplies. Pakistani forces have evacuated more than 170 people from various villages around Awaran to the district hospital, the military said. Others were evacuated to Karachi. One survivor interviewed in his Karachi hospital bed said he was sleeping when the quake struck. I dont know who brought me from Awaran to here in Karachi, but I feel back pain and severe pain in my whole body, he said. Jan said he didnt know what happened to the mans family. He was trying to contact relatives. Local officials said they were sending doctors, food and 1,000 tents for people who had nowhere to sleep. The efforts were complicated by strong aftershocks. Baluchistan is Pakistans largest province but also the least populated. Medical facilities are few and often poorly stocked with supplies and qualified personnel. Awaran district has about 300,000 residents spread out over 29,000 square kilometers (11,197 square miles). The local economy consists mostly of smuggling fuel from Iran or harvesting dates. The area where the quake struck is at the center of an insurgency that Baluch separatists have been waging against the Pakistani government for years. The separatists regularly attack Pakistani troops and symbols of the state, such as infrastructure projects. Its also prone to earthquakes. A magnitude 7.8 quake centered just across the border in Iran killed at least 35 people in Pakistan last April. Tuesdays shaking was so violent it drove up mud ating were trying to figure out exactly where were at, he said. We asked for some additional information, which was provided, and then need to sort through it. Aska said he hopes a new city manager will be able to begin by mid-October or Nov. 1 at the latest. do you have any other facts or numbers that would be helpful for us to chew on? Rothlisberg didnt have any hard numbers to share at the meeting, but Weigand said he would work to gather some facts from other cities, such as Mayetta and Dodge City. We will call the other communities because theyve seen the effects before the next meeting, Weigand said. are great. We have some really great teams lined up for the event.

For $3, they can receive less than an ounce of meat from each participant. The money will go toward the winner of the contest. Theyll be blindly judging, Hall said. Theyll see the barbecuers in the background, but they wont know whose food their tasting. Food, soft drinks and beer will be sold during the event. Alcohol, coolers and pets are not allowed.
and earth from the seafloor to create an island off the Pakistani coast. A Pakistani Navy team reached the island by midday Wednesday. Navy geologist Mohammed Danish told the countrys Geo Television that the mass was a little wider than a tennis court and slightly shorter than a football field. The director of the National Seismic Monitoring Center confirmed that the mass was created by the quake and said scientists were trying to determine how it happened. Zahid Rafi said such masses are sometimes created by the movement of gases locked in the earth that push mud to the surface.

As the final moments drained steadily from the clock, the Junction City soccer team pushed every member forward trying to get the equalizing goal. Defender Alan Martin rushed all the way to the attacking side to grab the ball for the throw-in. Even goalkeeper Amir McFarthing, with his blue keepers jersey, crowded in the attacking zone as Junction City fought for any advantage possible. Martin heaved the ball into the box with less than 20 seconds remaining, but a Topeka High defender got a foot on it and booted it back out of bounds.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. The hungry Kansas City Chiefs defense must be salivating at the thought of Eli Manning and the turnover-prone New York Giants coming to Arrowhead Stadium on Sunday. The Chiefs (3-0) lead the league with a plus-9 turnover differential, a big reason why theyre undefeated. The Giants, meanwhile, are a leagueworst minus-9, a major reason theyve yet to win a game. Ive told the team this: points and turnovers are the two most important things that you have as a football team, Chiefs coach Andy Reid said. You dont want to turn the football over you have to get used to that stat. If you turn the ball over, youre losing football games. Indeed, several studies have shown a strong correlation between turnover differential and wins. Some of

The New York Knicks have signed center Cole Aldrich, a former lottery pick who has struggled in the NBA. Aldrich played last season for Houston and Sacramento, averaging 2.2 points and 2.7 rebounds in 45 games. The 6-foot-11 Aldrich was drafted by New Orleans with the 11th pick in 2010 after three seasons at Kansas, where he helped the Jayhawks win the 2008 national championship. The Hornets traded his draft rights to Oklahoma City. Aldrich has career averages of 2.0 points and 2.3 rebounds in 89 games over three seasons.

them press the bounds of advanced mathematics to the limits. But the results boiled down are simple: Teams that turn the ball over, and fail to force turnovers generally lose. The Chiefs and Giants are both following that trend. Alex Smith has yet to throw an interception since arriving in Kansas City in an offseason trade. In fact, hes thrown only 20 picks since the 2010 season, the fewest of any quarterback with at least 1,000 pass attempts. Tom Brady has thrown the second most with 26 interceptions. Then there are the running backs and wide receivers, which have yet to fumble. Smith is the only player to put the ball on the ground and the Chiefs managed to hop on it. That means with another perfect afternoon against the Giants, the Chiefs will have gone four straight games without a turnover for the Please see Chiefs, 3B

LAWRENCE James Sims sat at home, his day becoming worse the longer the game on TV dragged on. Kansas was hosting Rice in the second game of last season, but Sims wasnt at Memorial Stadium. Suspended for the seasons first three games for a drunken-driving arrest, he watched the game alone rather than on the sideline next to teammates he couldnt help. Sims disappointment peaked when Kansas failed to hold a fourth-quarter lead. Knowing that you cant be out there with your teammates due to a mistake that you made, its pretty hard to handle, Sims said. I did what I had to do and I paid my dues.

becoming the Jayhawks most consistent playmaker and earning second-team AllBig 12 honors. Now, hes not the only rushing weapon or the only way Kansas can move the ball. Sims has carried 55 times for 281 yards, but Darrian Miller, Tony Pierson and Brandon Bourbon have also contributed in the running game. Altogether, the Jayhawks (2-1) have nearly 500 yards of rushing offense and just 559 yards through the air through their first two games. In fact, the group of running backs was so deep that coach Charlie Weis switched two of them to wide receivers in the offseason, hoping to give the passing game a spark under new quarterback Jake Heaps. So now Pierson and Bourbon rotate at flanker, and the speedy, dynamic Pierson leads the team in receiving with 15 catches Please see Jayhawks, 8B

EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. After a 38-0 loss to the Carolina Panthers, the New York Giants are promising only one change for this weekends game in Kansas City against the Chiefs. There is going to be an attitude adjustment. Win or lose, the Giants (0-3) arent going to have another no-show performance against the Chiefs (3-0). I think the better Giants team is going to show up this week, receiver Victor Cruz said. Its a different mindset. Todays practice was completely different than what we had in the past. The energy was different. The feel was different. Were excited. This is where I think we turn the page and make a good run and get a couple of wins under our belt. An upbeat Tom Coughlin is promising a more physical team. And if practice was any indication Wednesday, there was a little feistiness to the workout. These guys are hungry, being 0-3 and especially the way we lost that game, punter Steve Weatherford said. We wanted to win that one for Coach, and we didnt play well. Linebacker Mark Herzlich could sense an increased focus in practice, especially on a defense that has given up a league-worst 115 points. He said there was no carrying on in meetings. If there was a mistake on the practice field, players talked it over with coaches or looked at the play cards to see how they were out of position. Something has to change in the way we are playing,
Herzlich said. I think we can do it. I think we all believe we can do, and that belief is the first step. Coughlin isnt discussing any lineup changes, but there might be some. Center David Baas (neck) and guard Chris Snee (hip) missed practice, forcing the team to use a makeshift line days after giving up seven sacks. Since Coughlin didnt talk to the media after practice, who played where on the offense line was not public. One positive for the unit was that veteran David Diehl practiced for the first time since the Giants announced that he had surgery on his right thumb Aug. 21. Left guard Kevin Boothe said there is always concern after seeing Eli Manning on his back so much. Its not something you ignore and say, Its a fluke game, Boothe said. We have to play at a better level and we know that. The Chiefs defensive front seven will challenge the Giants. Linebacker Justin Houston had 4 1/2 sacks against the Eagles last week, and he leads the NFL with 7 1/2. The Giants are a little banged up in the secondary. Starting cornerback Corey Webster, who missed last weeks game with a hip injury, is feeling better but did not practice. Cornerback Terrell Thomas, who is playing after missing the last two seasons with ACL injuries, is being used on a limited basis to give him more time to recuperate between games. He expects to play Sunday. We are going to fight, Thomas said when asked which
New York Giants tackle David Diehl (left) works out with members of the offensive line during NFL football practice, Wednesday, in East Rutherford, N.J.
Giants team would show up Sunday. We got socked in our mouths last week, and thats not what the New York Giants are all about and the players. We have players on this team who have won two Super Bowls, and we know about being tough and resilient in the moment and understanding everything. Its disheartening. Its sad, but were over that now.

MANHATTAN The foundation of the Kansas State football program since Bill Snyders arrival more than two decades ago has been what he calls the 16 Goals for Success. Things such as unselfishness, commitment and unity. More often than not, the Wildcats have thrived on these principles. But as they mull over a 2-2 start that included a disheartening loss at Texas on Saturday night to open Big 12 play, those same goals are providing a good place to start figuring out where things have gone wrong. We need to improve in the intrinsic values segment of our program, Snyder said Tuesday. And it starts with me. The loss to the Longhorns was Kansas States second conference-opening loss since 2005, the final year of Snyders first tenure in Manhattan. It also left defending Big 12 champions trying to answer a slew of questions as they get this week off. We need to go back to a value system that weve tried to operate on for a long period of time, Snyder said. Just those goals, so to speak, and understanding the intrinsic values that are significant in being successful, both on and off the field. Bye weeks arent terribly exciting for players, especially after watching a five-game winning streak over Texas come to a crashing end. Most would rather get back on the field right away. Still, this is one week off that Snyder said the Wildcats desperately need. We still dont like to have to sit on it, Snyder said. By the same token, there are a number of things that are going to take some time that we need to work with. Turnovers are a good place to start. Jake Waters already has thrown five interceptions and the Wildcats have lost four of their six fumbles. Meanwhile, theyve been on the receiving end of four interceptions without recovering

any of the opposing teams four fumbles. The Wildcats defense is giving up more than 185 yards rushing per game. The team has been penalized an uncharacteristic 16 times for 138 yards. A team that generally dominates possession time has seen it go the other way. And on and on. A lot of people needed this bye week to get their heads together, wide receiver Tyler Lockett said. Just to be able to relax and just think about the future of what were trying to get to this year and everything were trying to accomplish.
The past two seasons, a gritty, never-back-down approach carried Kansas State to consecutive seasons of 10-plus wins. Its a mentality that the Wildcats hope to capture once more. Weve lost sight of the fundamentals of how were supposed to play this game, sophomore defensive tackle Travis Britz said. Were known to be hard-working, tough-nosed football team and we lost sight of that. The Wildcats seemed to have lost it even before a seasonopening loss to North Dakota State, and it never really appeared in underwhelming wins over Louisiana-Lafayette and UMass. Then came the letdown in Austin, when the Wildcats were manhandled most of the night by Texas. Nobody likes to lose, linebacker Charmeachealle Moore said. Were striving to get better and like Coach says, every week we have to improve and every week no matter if its a bye week or if were playing, we have to improve. Snyder defended his use of a two quarterback system this week, saying that Waters and Daniel Sams have both done good things, but that neither one of them has earned the full-time job. Snyder did say that the depth chart will remain fluid. Its competitive every day, he said. Young guys go out and they understand the depth chart is fluid day in and day out and week in and week out. Thats consistent. The guys that are doing the best are the guys on top of the depth chart. The Wildcats dont have much time to figure things out. They hit the road in their return from a week off to face high-powered Oklahoma State, and then return home to face a Baylor team that seems unstoppable on offense. Then comes another week off before a final stretch of six games in six weeks. This is a great week to be able to do ... see where everybodys head is at, Lockett said, and also to see whos going to get on the train and whos not going to get on the train.

CLEVELAND Rookie Danny Salazar gave Cleveland a much-needed quality start and Nick Swisher hit a two-run homer as the Indians tightened their grip one of the AL wild-card spots with their 14th straight win over the Chicago White Sox, 7-2 on Wednesday night in their home finale. Salazar (2-3) struck out eight in 5 1-3 innings for the Indians, who won their final six home games to stay with the wild-card leaders. They entered the night with a one-game lead over Texas in the wild-card chase. Cleveland is also one game behind Tampa Bay for the top spot with just four games left. Swisher homered in the fifth inning off Dylan Axlerod (4-11) as the Indians finished the season 16-2 against Chicago. Cleveland hasnt made the playoffs since 2007, but the Indians are closing in on a berth under first-year manager Terry Francona, who guided Boston to two World Series titles. A spray-painted bedsheet in the upper deck of Progressive Field said: Playoff Bound. The Indians, who already have 20 more wins than last season, have some work to do before that can happen. They havent won it all since 1948, but if they can win their next four games in Minnesota, the Indians will give themselves a chance to end the drought. Asivail Garcia homered for the White Sox, 6-19 since Aug. 30. Swishers two-run shot in the fifth gave the Indians a 4-1 lead and allowed 30,942 fans to breathe a little easier following the emotional rollercoaster of Tuesday night, when Jason Giambis pinch-hit, two-run homer in the ninth saved closer Chris Perez, who gave up two homers in the top of the inning. With the Indians leading 2-1 in the fifth, Brantley, who has been using one of Carlos Santanas bats, doubled with one out and Swisher followed with a shot into the Indians bullpen in center. After rounding the bases, Swisher saluted the crowd by raising his hands and forming an O and H. The Indians packed for a four-game series against the Twins not knowing if
theyll play again this season after Sunday. They could be coming back to Cleveland for the winter, playing a one-game playoff just to get to into the wild-card game or maybe headed to either Tampa Bay or Texas for one game with the winner advancing to the division series. There are far too many unknowns, which is why manager Terry Francona would not discuss any possible postseason plans. Were not there yet, he said before the game. Indians ace Justin Masterson, sidelined since Sept. 2 with an oblique injury, pitched the ninth. Its possible the All-Star right-hander could start again this season if the Indians get in the playoffs. One night after Giambis breathtaking homer, the Indians had to scrap again to get past a team with 96 losses. Leading 4-1 in the sixth, Salazar gave up a pair of singles and was replaced by Bryan Shaw. Dayan Viciedo followed with an RBI single, and after the Indians botched a rundown, Shaw was in a jam. But the right-hander struck out Jordan Danks and Marcus Semien. The Indians got the run back in the sixth on Drew Stubbs sacrifice fly and went up 7-2 in the seventh on Asdrubal Cabreras two-run single. Cleveland took advantage of Chicago miscues to score two unearned runs in the second and take a 2-1 lead. Lonnie Chisenhall reached on a fielders choice and moved up on Axelrods wild pitch with two outs. Drew Stubbs hit a high hopper toward third baseman Semien, who should have handled it but let it bounce off his glove for an error, allowing Chisenhall to score. Brantley, who has been Clevelands best hitter in the clutch, followed with an RBI single to center. He entered batting .349 with two outs and runners in scoring position. The White Sox played their final road game without Paul Konerko, who was kneecap was sore and swollen after fouling a pitch off it Tuesday. NOTES: Indians CF Michael Bourn didnt start because of a sprained right wrist. Francona wanted to give his leadoff hitter a day of rest and treatment. Bourn pinch-ran for Giambi in the sixth.

first time since the end of the 1997 season and the start of 98 two years in which Kansas City went a combined 20-12. Its something thats daily here, the importance of ball security. No question, Smith said. Its something we take a lot of pride in. When you look around, the statistics are overwhelming, your chances to win the ballgame when you win the turnover battle. Its not just been that the Chiefs are generating turnovers, either. Often, theyre leading to instant points.

untouched for the score. The Chiefs have 30 points off takeaways this season, second to Chicago, and a fairly significant number considering theyve scored 71 points overall. Turnovers are a big part of every game you play, Chiefs defensive back Marcus Cooper said. Its a way to give the offense more opportunities to get points on the board. Its a big deal. No need to tell that to the guys that were in Kansas City last season. The Chiefs were last in the league with a minus-24 turnover margin. Their revolving door of quarterbacks threw 20 interceptions and they fumbled an astonishing 26 times. If your takeaway ratio is high, then normally youre winning, Reid said. Thats why those are two important stat points, takeaways and giveaways. Giants coach Tom Coughlin is well aware of it. His team has turned it over a league-high 13 times, and is tied with Pittsburgh for the
worst differential in the league. Some of the turnovers have come late in games, when the winless Giants have been frantically trying to rally. Theyve lost four fumbles, and Manning has already thrown eight interceptions, which leaves him more than halfway toward the 15 he had last season. Coughlin said the first and foremost principle we believe in is ball security, and that has been true for much of his tenure in New York. But it hasnt been the case this season, and he knows that will have to change if the Giants have a chance Sunday. We havent done a very good job of it, he acknowledged. We know how to teach ball security. When a player is careless or doesnt give himself the opportunity to be successful by following a few simple procedures, then usually at some point in time these things hurt you, and weve been hurt by it a few times this fall.

LAWRENCE Andrew Wiggins slouched down in a chair with cameras stuck in his face. Conner Frankamp tried to heave in a half-court shot. Wayne Selden sat back and smiled inside Allen Fieldhouse. The calendar hasnt even flipped to October and basketball is already on the mind at Kansas. Weve been working hard this whole summer and I feel like were ready to go, said junior guard Naadir Tharpe, just about the closest thing to a veteran on this young team. We have a lot of great players around us, so the excitement is definitely up at Kansas right now. Basketball usually pushes into the public consciousness around these parts by early October, especially given the struggles of the football program in years past. But the Jayhawks are getting an even earlier jump on this season after the NCAAs legislative council amended and approved a measure this past spring changing the way preseason practices are conducted. In the past, practice began roughly four weeks before the season. Now, mens basketball teams get to conduct 30 days of practice in the six weeks prior to their first-regular season game. Kansas opens a two-game exhibition schedule Oct. 29 against Pittsburg State, and then plays its first game that counts against Louisiana-Monroe on Nov. 8. I do think the season is too long, Kansas coach Bill Self said, but the way theyve done it, theyve done it in a way where basically you dont have to cram so much stuff in so fast. You can take your time and be a better teacher, and also you dont have to wear guys bodies out so much because you can do two days on, two days off until you get into shape. Self said he plans to alternate a hard day and teaching day until the middle of October, when the grind really begins. The idea is to make sure guys are fresh for the whole season. Well work them hard, but theres no reason to have a 3 1/2-hour practice in September, Self said. I do think its a positive, no question, but it does make for a long season. Self joked that he might not be in favor of the rule changes next year if a whole bunch of players return. But hes certainly in favor of the earlier practices this year, when hes trying to break in a nine-member recruiting class that will be counted upon heavily. The headliner is unquestionably Wiggins, the consensus No. 1 high school prospect, who spurned other offers to play at Kansas. Wiggins has been anointed the next LeBron James by many folks who follow the recruiting trail, though Self said its dangerous to make such comparisons before hes ever stepped foot on a college floor. But with dozens of TV cameras pressing into his face, Wiggins looked comfortable bored, even while wearing a crisp, white No. 22 jersey with Kansas stitched across the chest. When I came on my visit, it just caught my heart. This is where I felt like I belonged, he said Wednesday. The team, theyre all one unit. Everybody was cool with everybody. Nobody was left out. I felt more at home here than anywhere else. Wiggins was the final piece to what Self believes is his best recruiting class. The 6-foot-8 swingman is joined by Selden, a five-star guard whod have been the prized piece of most classes. Frankamp comes with a sharpshooters reputation. Seven-footer Joel Embiid has just about the best feet Self has seen in a big man. Brannen Greene is a rangy scorer, and Frank Mason is expected to push Naadir Tharpe for the starting point guard job. Then theres 6-9 forward Tarik Black, a graduate transfer from Memphis. Hes eligible to play immediately, and gives the young Jayhawks some veteran toughness. If you look around this court right now, theres so much talent, Black said, and you put a coach like Bill Self at the head of that, its kind of scary. Its very scary. Also scary are the expectations at Kansas, which will be chasing its 10th consecutive Big 12 title despite losing second-team All-American Ben McLemore, third-team All-American Jeff Withey and veteran guard Elijah Johnson to the NBA draft and graduation. Theres as much hype around this year as any, Self said, and I think its in large part because of the unknown. Weve had other good players and other good teams returning this team hasnt proven itself at all but the unknown has everyone pretty excited.

Dear Annie: I started dating Zach 18 months ago and have been living with him for almost a year. Things are perfect except for one thing. Before we met, Zach dated another girl for three years before me. She was horrible and hurtful toward him. When I began seeing Zach, his ex started harassing me to the point where I had to take out a restraining order against her. The problem is, Zachs older sister is still in constant contact with the ex. She always talks about her in front of me and even allows the ex to babysit her children. She often invites the ex to go places with her and posts pictures of the two of them on Facebook. Zach has had many fights with his sister about this, telling her how hurtful it is to both of us, yet she still continues to do it. Ive tried everything possible to make his sister like me, but I cant keep competing with the ex. Its causing a strain between Zach and his sister. I dont have issues with anyone else in his family. What can I do to get the ex out of the picture permanently? The Current Woman in His Life Dear Current: Zachs sister is doing this for one of two reasons: Either she likes getting your goat, in which case, your response is very gratifying for her. Or, she doesnt want you to dictate who her friends can be. Either way, your response should be the same: Ignore it. If her main purpose is to annoy you, she will become bored with the tactic when she sees it has no effect. And if she is truly friends with this woman, the relationship is not your business. The added benefit of ignoring it is that Zach will be grateful. You already have his total support, and that is what counts. Dear Annie: I recently bought my first smartphone and have yet to figure out the proper etiquette for using it in public. I was taught that it is rude to answer ones phone when in the midst of a conversation. I believe this also goes for texting or using apps. I try to avoid using my phone while at social events. If I have to make a call or respond to a message, I excuse myself to another room. Lately, I have noticed people using their phones
Annies mailbox
in all types of situations that I would consider inappropriate. Are these people just oblivious to the standards of respect that should be shown to others, or have the standards changed? Is there a good set of rules to follow when using my smartphone in public? Also, how can I politely let people know that their phone use is making me feel ignored? Confused College Kid Dear College Kid: May we clone you? Basic phone etiquette says that you do not take a call when you are with someone else. Letting it disturb your conversation indicates that the call is more important than the person you are with. If it is an emergency, excuse yourself and call back. Try not to speak too loudly. Every person around shouldnt be privy to your conversation. (It is also a safety issue in case you are giving out personal information.) If someone ignores you to answer a call or play Angry Birds, ask them nicely to please put their phone away. If they still cannot focus their attention on you, say, I can see that you are busy. Ill talk to you later. Dear Annie: This is for Torn Grandma, who babysits for her granddaughter who may be allergic to Grandmas dog. Perhaps Grandma could watch her granddaughter in the childs home or in a dog-free room that has an air filter running daily. The child should be tested to be sure its the dog that is truly the cause of her reaction. Your Local Veterinarian

Horoscope
ARIES (March 21April 19). Youre happier when you feel you have too much to do than when you feel you dont have enough to do. For you, its a joy to be busy as long as youre doing something meaningful. TAURUS (April 20May 20). You see a shortcut, but you wont compromise your morals for anything, not even to achieve one of your most important goals. Goals achieved through amoral means do not provide satisfaction. GEMINI (May 21June 21). It is sometimes not worthwhile to fix things or fight for things. Fixing will only work for a short time. Fighting will only strengthen your opposition. Drop it and move forward. CANCER (June 22July 22). Hungry people behave differently from satisfied people. Do what you can to feed your various needs and wants, and you will avoid the pitfalls that ensnare those who hungrily take the bait. LEO (July 23Aug. 22). Its not that you need life to be constantly exciting, but you do your best to entertain yourself and others through some of the duller bits. This tendency of yours will charm someone new today. VIRGO (Aug. 23Sept. 22). The cure for low selfesteem is not to come up with a more reasonable estimation of what you can do. Rather, its to stop thinking you always have to do. Youre worthy just because you are. LIBRA (Sept. 23Oct. 23). Opinions arent facts. Its easier to see this when the opinions in question are someone elses. Examining your own thoughts is trickier, but youll do it and correct an erroneous notion. SCORPIO (Oct. 24Nov. 21). Your sense of humor will be highlighted. What makes you funny is that youre so in love with the truth, and you have a way of stating it that makes people laugh instead of take offense. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22Dec. 21). Agreements that yield mutual satisfaction will be repeated, while unfair arrangements wont work for very long. Thats why its important to make sure that everyone shares in the profits. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22Jan. 19). Because you care so deeply for someone, you will knock yourself out in an effort to make this person happy. Today this wont be easy, but not caring would be harder for you. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20Feb. 18). Relationships have their ups and downs, and this is definitely a high point. Spending time with the one you love makes your heart feel so light that its as though your whole being is gravityresistant. PISCES (Feb. 19March 20). Learning that happens slowly will stick with you. Take large endeavors in small chunks, and dont stress over them. After a small amount of effort, put your tools down and let things seep in.

for 209 yards and a touchdown. His biggest catch came Saturday against Louisiana Tech, a 29-yard reception to set up Matthew Wymans game-winning 52-yard field goal. Were never going to have a chance to compete in the Big 12 if all were going to do is run the ball, said Weis, whose team ended a 22-game losing streak against Football Bowl Subdivision teams with its victory over the Bulldogs, and doubled its win total from all of last year. When they take away your inside running game, they are taking away the heart and soul of what you do, Weis explained after the game. It puts you on the edge in the passing game, which is a little bit uncomfortable for me. Thats part of the reason Weis moved Pierson and Bourbon to wide receiver. Another reason is that the running back rotation deepened in the offseason when Miller rejoined the team. Miller ran for 559 yards as a freshman and seemed to be poised for big things, but Weis kicked him off the team for off-the-field issues when he arrived. Miller rejoined the program in June and has been slowly earning an increased workload. Sims and Miller now form the bulk of the running attack, though Pierson and Bourbon still get carries. The fifth piece of the rushing attack, Taylor Cox, had six carries for 44 yards in the opener against South Dakota but is now facing a redshirt because of nagging injuries. Even so, the Jayhawks have enough weapons to keep the ground game potent and fresh. Throughout the game, you put any one of us in at running back, I dont see a knock-off, Pierson said. Were all going to be fresh during the game so at any point in time you can put any one
of us in the game. Still, Sims is the ground games heartbeat. He moved into fourth place on the schools career rushing chart with 78 yards on Saturday. And while his yardage total was third-fewest in a single game in the past two years, the victory showed that Kansas can win without relying only on rushing the ball. Were going to run it as much as we need to, or as less as we need to, said running backs coach Reggie Mitchell, who has worked with Sims for years. One thing about James, I can say this is, if he runs for 100 yards and we lose, hes extremely disappointed. Whereas if he gets 94 yards against South Dakota and we win, hes excited.

in the way (McFarthing is) coming along, hes figuring stuff out, Proctor said. Im hoping hes enjoying it, its tough to let goals go in, hes a competitive kid, hes die-hard in nature. Hes a good all-around kid. Hes a fantastic athlete and hes even better off the field. McFarthing has been put in a tough position playing behind a young Blue Jays squad, especially since he never played organized soccer or much soccer of any sort until tryouts in late August. (My confidence has) skyrocketed because the first game of the year, I really didnt know much and every-
body on the team has helped me, McFarthing said. Theyve become brothers to me. Im grateful to every one for helping me and helping my confidence go up. He said he has enjoyed his time in the net so far because of the intensity of the game and seeing how much improvement the Jays have made. Junction City (2-8) has the rest of the week off before traveling to Hays Tuesday, Oct. 1. Proctor now wants his team to take its momentum and build on it. Were going to get a little bit better tomorrow and then the next day were going to get better than the day before, He said. And if we keep building on that, were going to be fine. We came out yesterday and had a good practice. We worked on a lot of different things that we needed to and its stuff that I saw today.
